Feeling festive? The Fairmont Empress in Victoria is expanding its annual holiday celebration this year a new ice skating rink.

Located on the iconic hotel's front lawn, the covered rink offers an impeccable view of the Victoria harbour's festive lights. Beautiful string lights hung from the ceiling also add a layer of magic to the experience.

The rink, which measures 60 ft. by 90 ft., opens on Thursday (Nov. 20) and runs through to mid-January.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children 10 and under. Skate rentals cost $5 per pair. Special events are also happening at the rink, including "Skate n' Date" nights, family skate afternoons, Sunday skates with Santa, and Christmas Eve skating with elves.
